This thread post is dated. But, if there is still interest, you might find these worthwhile:

There seems that I remember another package called SFS_Grabber. But, I can't seem to search and find it using forum search.

Re: no such file - with those commands you would need to be in the base directory of the pet... still some still won't have it.

Although gzipping the man pages may not shrink the pet, it is still useful for those with limited resources that need to do a full install. ... if RAM and CPU are limited enough to require a full install, chances are that the disk space is limited too. For others, the effect should be completely unnoticable._________________Web Programming - Pet Packaging 100 & 101

how do you instal devx 520 i can only mount itSubject description: i can mount it and access the files but i cant load it

how do i go about installing it? by the way i am a complete noob to fd64 and for that matter to puppy Linux i have no idea what i am doing but i do get the basics of Linux from other distributions just a bit confusing third day on the job and i already need to compile a new desktop
please help i want to compile kde 4.7.1
running fd64 520 final
when i try to load the sfs it give me a kernel mismatch of the sfs but bout are the 520 and both from the final version well at least the fd64 distro is but i do not know how to verify the sfs, any help would be great.

I have been trying to make .pets and I have managed to make it work at least once!
However, recently I was trying to make a pet of Ruby-1.9.3.
I did:
./compile
make
new2dir make install

But ... the installation files ended up in the first directory - not in the one that new2dir created.
I must be doing something wrong. I have read through the material on here, but when I follow the instructions I get this odd result.
I'd appreciate any help!

Prerequisite - A working installation of Puppy Linux with the appropriate devxXXX.sfs loaded/installed
General pet Packaging 100 - suitable for alpha testing - minimal command line
0. Find your source package (I recommend getting sources from http://packages.debian.org/source/etch/ ... use the one ending in orig.tar.gz)
1. Download the package to ../anydirectory/package-name.tar.gz
2. Open it in ROX and extract all to ../anydirectory/package-name
3. Click on the directory you just extracted to open it
4. Right click select -->menu-->terminal here
--------- <--This begins the command line part - don't worry its easy
